Hey, this is my latest render of a bulb. Materials are fully procedural and made in blender. (Except HDR background…) Could you guys give me some feedback, please? I would like to hear what do you think about it.

Great model and texture work, especially for completely procedural materials! Overall I would first recommend brightening the scene a bit as it can be hard to see the delineation between bulb and black background. For the metal section, some wear-and-tear on and beneath the threads could be a nice touch for details. I really like the intricate glass and metalwork inside the bulb - is it possible to do a render with the filament glowing slightly? That might help add some dynamics to the scene. A bit of refraction might also be beneficial with the glass bulb (though it’s hard to tell because the background is pure black). In terms of the model itself though, I think you’ve done an excellent job!
Looks very nice so far, but the screw elements look a little too flat; they don’t look like they’d really fit in a fitting. The rest looks great, good luck!
Nice work. Screw should be more glossy.
Are you using HDR only for lighting your scene ?
Add some gradient color to your background.
Add som directional light, and maybe rim light.
Thanks for tips.
Your glass material looks very realistic! Maybe try lighting the background to get some refraction and give the image more punch. I modeled a bulb in Modo a while back (obviously not as realistic as yours). Most of the light comes from a single spotlight to the background.
The glass material looks very realistic.
Here some technical stuff. The socket proportion does not fit to the bulb size. The sockets thread roughly is a semicircle inwards and a semicircle outwards. The material between the outer socket and the center tip definitely is not made of metall.
